Celebrating the ribbon-cutting for Safeguard Medical @med_safeguard at their new HQ in @HuntersvilleGOV. Through my lens, Safeguard is part of the critical infrastructure of caregiving. The @abstractdissent mural is✨powerful depiction of the mission. @lnedc @MeckCounty #EMSWeek

Impressive teamwork seen in @TownofDavidson yesterday, where I watched this hard working crew unearthing the infrastructure by hand. I have so much respect for people who work together to solve problems! #NorthMeckPlumbing

I will remember @MeckCounty Commissioner Ella Scarborough for her love, generosity and beautiful spirit. I chose this picture because she wouldn't cut the ribbon without holding my hand 🥰 #ServantLeadership #MeckBOCC #LoveLivesOn

I toured the Innovation Barn and "Louise Cotton" is my new favorite piece of art in @MeckCounty. She was created from 100% repurposed objects, including her 🌟celestial bubble wand. @EnvisionCLT 💚
